Ah, superior Nihon condiments.
And yes, he deserved that stare on page 16.
Also, did he already forgot everything he did before the last fight with Dex (like that one time he fucking blew one of the two moons out of the sky)?!

can't blame his craving for soy sauce tho. we asians are basically hooked to it, sweet or salty.

I'm sure all the people bitching about superior nihon anything will do just about the same with their own cultural things when they go to another world and can't find their favorite things
and you don't even have to go to another world, just stay at a secluded village on another country (preferably on another continent) for an extended time and you'll try to make your own country food with whatever you can find there

I actually liked the soy sauce twist this time.
"Soy sauce! yay!" (me: eyeroll, ticks a box on isekai bingo)
"weird, doesn't taste right, surprise! not soy sauce!" (me: oh, cool little twist there. OK then, 'unticks bingo box') bonus points for deciding to make it himself, but having no real idea how to do so.
And as for the soy sauce and rice thing in lots of isekai's, as much as I roll my eyes every time the go on about it, I just figure if it's a major staple of your normal diet, then of course you'd miss it. For westerners, imagine if you got isekai'd into a world without something like wheat. Anything normally made with wheat flour would either not exist--bye bye pasta!--or be very different (just try some full rye bread or gluten free bread (blegh) for example. Hell, even something like tomato sauce (ketchup) would do, if you're the type of person who puts it on everything.

Actually, I can sorta understand why the moon thing didn't sink in for him, it was too outlandish. His mind censored it out and he just didn't get it. But something simple like chattering a jar while trying to open it gives him context, he knows what it's like to open a stuck jar, so him breaking it allowed him to finally link how strong he is.

No, if I was in another country with foreign foods I would just eat what I liked from the local cuisine. No wheat? I'll have rice. No rice? I'll have naan. No naan? I'll have pasta. No pasta? I'll have potatoes. Etc.
Plus there's this ridiculousness of how everyone always loves every introduced Japanese food, whether it's sushi, soy sauce, mayo, pudding, etc, when a lot of these tastes are acquired, and generally requires specialized knowledge and equipment (like the ability to properly flash-freeze fish to kill parasites before serving it as sushi, or the proper way to make sushi rice, which requires rice vinegar, which is made by fermenting rice using a specific type of yeast that likely doesn't exist in an alternative world (of course, neither would specific varieties of fruits, grains, vegetables and animals also exist, meaning really an isekai'd person shouldn't know how to cook much of anything)).
So good luck, isekai guy, on finding Aspergillus mold (oh, and the fermentation/aging process takes 5 to 8 months, and don't forget the pasteurization process that I'm totally sure you also know how to do.)
Not to mention that the number of Japanese students or officeworkers who actually know how to make these products from scratch (like soy sauce) that will actually taste good is likely nonexistent. (At least this manga showed it was just an experiment, but watch, everyone will love it).
Cooking is science, and science depends on physics, which are not going to necessarily be the same. Elevation, humidity, ambient temperature, fluctuations in cooking temperature due to primitive ovens, etc - and suddenly your cooking or baking results might be totally different. You go to the grocery store, and every single fruit or veggie you buy is something that has been selectively grown through genetic manipulation by people with decades of experience, and much of it is only available to you as a fresh ingredient because of interstate highways, international shipping and the gasoline engine. And here we are in isekai societies that haven't even invented processes like canning or bottling and rarely seem to even have refrigeration (or electricity).
These people would only be eating what could be grown locally, perhaps within about 100 miles. Anything else would be exorbitantly expensive or totally unavailable.

The thing with destroying that moon was just magic. Here he's talking about physical strength, which IINM he hasn't had much if any opportunity to actually display his superlativeness in since he first dropped into this world and fought with Dex while believing he was dreaming.

@panneqaha Yeah, people really underestimate just how much their palate is dictated by the foods they eat regularly; I had some dental work done a few years ago that left me incapable of eating things like burgers, pizza, and even steak to a degree for a full year. Those are things I only have every few days to every few weeks and the first burger I had after that period was one of the best things I've ever had, despite being fast food. I can only imagine how bad it'd be if it was something you had with basically every single meal.

how long have you stayed in another country without access to some of your usual food?
I have some friends who worked overseas, after some time they suddenly became a chef lol, experimenting with whatever they found to try to cook our local condiment
ymmv tho, as you said, maybe you're fine but many people aren't

Someday I hope to see an isekai where the END goal is to create soy sauce, not beat the demon king etc.
